Last weekend I returned to MystiCon in Roanoke, Virginia, and had a splendid — and at one point scary — time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\nThe splendid part was spending concentrated time with several of my writing friends. I had a couple of long conversations with Genre Princess Alethea Kontis<\/a>, in which we commiserated about not being able to set aside sufficient time to do our own writing. (Everyone should make note of the fact that Lee’s book, Enchanted<\/em>, is coming out in just a couple of months!)<\/p>\n

I also had pleasant conversations with many other fine folks, including Gail Z. Martin, whose outlook on the current state of publishing was quite refreshing; Allen Wold, who graciously allowed me to serve again as a panelist in his writing workshop; David Halperin, whose insights during the “UFO Investigations” panel meant that I didn’t have to say much; and Danny Birt, who was kind enough to include me in a supper outing.<\/p>\n

The scary part was finding out on Sunday morning that I’d slept through the hotel fire alarm the previous night. Not good! Had it been an actual fire, I might not be typing this blog post … and what a loss that would be. Ha!<\/p>\n
